One of the pioneers of RV formation standards and a founding member of the Blackjack Squadron, Wesley Schierman passed away this weekend. Wes, Marty, and Dick began flying their RV4s in close formation together in the late 80?s and expanded their group by developing a structured training program in the early 90?s that continues to this day. Over the years, nearly 50 fortunate aviators have been ?patched? to fly as Blackjacks.
There are extraordinary people living ordinary lives among us...
Attached is a copy of ?A Bad Day at Son La" the personal story of Major Wesley D. Schierman, a 67th F-105D Thunderchief pilot, who was shot down over North Vietnam on August 28, 1965. Wes was captured and spent 7 1/2 years as a POW. After his release he returned to his civilian life as an airline pilot for Northwest Airlines.
